The next morning, after helping the Empress get up, An Ruo told her about what had happened the night before.
"You mean Hongmu might have been exposed? Who leaked the information? Could there be a spy among us? Anruo, have the secret guards start monitoring everyone in our palace from now on, down to the smallest detail. Investigate everything they do, who they meet, and what they say."
"Also, if Hongmu is really exposed, find an excuse to bring him back. Anyway, Li Wanyue won't be able to cause trouble for long. Send a copy of last night's news to the Emperor and another copy out of the palace. Let's wait for the thief to take the bait."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Outside the palace, Rong Qi also received a message that Rong Che had begun to take action. Combined with the message in the Empress's possession, he understood what Rong Che intended to do.
He simply wanted to use Li Wanyue to drug his uncle, then expose Li Wanyue, so that the emperor would be enraged, execute Li Wanyue, and make Rong Mian join him in fighting against Rong Xi and himself.
Tsk, they even have to team up with Mu Yanzheng. Mu Yanzheng is currently in India and is probably in dire need of protection. He can't escape Mu Weiliang's notice at all.
They're incredibly stupid! They don't even know anything about India, yet they think they're so clever.
The power in the Kingdom of Tianzhu is basically in Mu Weiliang's hands. If Mu Yanzheng dares to make a move, he will face certain death.
Feng Qinghuang looked at Rong Qi, who was lost in thought, and asked, "Qi, what's wrong? Are you alright?"
Rong Qi shook his head: "It's alright. You see, some people can't stand it anymore."
Rong Qi handed the two messages to Feng Qinghuang. After reading them, Feng Qinghuang felt helpless. She hadn't expected that the seemingly innocent and harmless young boy was no longer so innocent.
"Aqi, for the Emperor's safety, let's send Xiao Hui to the palace. With him there, the Emperor will be fine."
Rong Qi glanced at Little Gray, who was fast asleep beside him: "Look at how stupid it is, I doubt it will do anything but help. All it does is eat and sleep."
Feng Qinghuang suppressed a laugh: "Aqi, how can you say that about Xiao Hui? It just loves to eat and sleep, but it does have some uses."
Feng Qinghuang rubbed Little Gray's head to wake it up: "Little Gray, Little Gray, time to eat meat."
Little Grey was having a dream when he suddenly heard about eating meat. He immediately opened his eyes and asked, "Where's the meat? Where is it?"
"Little Grey, let me tell you something. There's an opportunity for you to eat to your heart's content. There are so many delicious foods, you could say all the good food in the world is there."
Little Grey's mouth watered as he listened: "Beauty, tell me quickly, where is it?"
Feng Qinghuang and Rong Qi exchanged a glance: "In the palace, there is only one task for you. You must protect the Emperor's safety, and then you can eat whatever you want."
"Really? It's that simple?"
Feng Qinghuang nodded: "It's that simple, are you in or not?"
Little Gray thought for a moment. Protecting people was simple, but he couldn't miss out on all that delicious food.
"Damn it, let's go."
Rong Qi was speechless at its pathetic appearance. Was it starving every day?
"Easy, send it away. Tell it what to do."
"Yes, Master."
Easy picked up Little Gray and went downstairs.
Rong Qi... finally one is gone. Looking at the other few at my feet, can they all be sent away too?
"No, Aqi, if these few go over there, the palace will be in chaos."
The little beasts that used to be on Feng Qinghuang's wrist are no longer allowed to stay on her wrist after she became pregnant; they can only squat at her feet.
Upon hearing Feng Qinghuang's words, Rong Qi glanced at the beasts and snorted.
The animals at his feet ignored him, thinking their master was a real scoundrel. Every day he tried different ways to throw them out, but they wouldn't budge, driving him crazy.
In the imperial study of the palace, Rong Yuan looked at Little Grey on the desk: "Rong Rong, was this sent by your master to protect me?"
Easy nodded: "Your Majesty, this little beast is a formation beast. It can trap people in the formation, making them unable to get out, and it can also kill people silently in the formation."
Rong Yuan looked at Little Grey with a smile: "Oh ho, this little guy is so capable!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, but there is one thing: it loves to eat and sleep."
Rong Yuan was about to say something when Xiao Hui became impatient: "Old man, the beauty said you have the most delicious food in the world here, where is it?"
Looking around, there's nothing to eat. Could the beauty be lying to it?
Rong Yuan was stunned when he heard it speak: "This...this..."
Rong Yi quickly reassured him: "Your Majesty, there is no need to panic. It is a divine beast and was born with the ability to speak. The beauty it speaks of is the Crown Prince's consort."
Rong Yuan patted his chest: "So it's Huang'er's little beast, then it's not strange at all. Hongfu, take Xiao Hui downstairs to get something to eat."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Hong Fu left, Rong Yuan spoke a few more words to Rong Yi before sending him back to report.
Alas, that child finally couldn't hold back anymore!
